Vitrectomy Information

RetinaRest

If your surgeon has recommended that you have vitrectomy surgery combined with gas injection for a macular hole, it is likely that you will be asked to posture face-down for up to 14 days. This can be very difficult, so it is a good idea to be well prepared.

This guide is intended to help you understand your condition, the reasons for posturing and what to expect during and after the surgery.
